Move all the platform data to devicetree.

Nice! :)

The only bit dropped is the PWM beeper, which requires the PWM driver
to be updated. I figured it's okay to remove it here since it's really
a non-critical device, and it'll be re-introduced soon enough.

OK, I can see that being a price worth paying. Though it's possible to
include the binding at least for that in this series I'd be even
happier. Actually I see we already have

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pwm/ingenic,jz47xx-pwm.txt

in mainline - what needs to change with it?

The PWM driver will be updated to use the TCU clocks and the regmap provided
by the TCU driver. The PWM node will be a sub-node of the TCU one.

Additionally, there is this[1] ongoing discussion about PWM which makes
me uneasy about how to write the binding. So I'd rather not rush it,
because once the devicetree is written, it's ABI.

+ spi {
+ compatible = "spi-gpio";
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ sck-gpios = <&gpc 23 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+ mosi-gpios = <&gpc 22 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+ cs-gpios = <&gpc 21 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+ num-chipselects = <1>;
+
+ spi@0 {
+ compatible = "ili8960";

Should this be "ilitek,ili8960"?

Is there a binding & driver for this submitted somewhere? If not then do
we need this at all? It doesn't look like the existing platform data
would actually lead to a driver being loaded so I'm wondering if we can
just drop this until such a driver (or at least a documented DT binding)
exists.

I can drop it. There is no driver for it, and I'm not even sure the LB60
has a ILI8960 in the first place.


Thanks,
Paul
